CAFE DESIGN

The café, located on the first floor, provides visitors with convenience as they are given opportunities to grab refreshments before and after their journeys.

The café is inspired by the ocean and the waves of the San Francisco beach, therefore, this space’s main scheme involves gradient blue and cool color tones. Since the beaches in the Bay Area are mostly cold and windy, the café uses surfaces that express glossiness and smoothness, such as stainless steel. For visitors to have an “under the sea” experience, both the back wall and the ceiling are covered with wave-like mirrors that portray the water surface. The walls and glass partitions are colored gradient blue to provoke an elegant aura which is similar to that of the waves. In addition, the lighting system used in the café is extraordinarily soft and subtle. To balance out the playful color and texture, the contemporary furniture and light fixtures are specifically selected so as to insert simplified shapes and forms.
